Exxon Mobil Investigated for Possible<br />

Climate Change Lies by New York<br />

Attorney General<br />

By JUSTIN GILLIS and CLIFFORD KRAUSS NOV. 5,2015<br />

The New York attorney general has begun an investigation of Exxon Mobil to<br />

determine whether the company lied to the public about the risks of climate change<br />

or to investors about how such risks might hurt the oil business.<br />

According to people with knowledge of the investigation, Attorney General Eric<br />

T. Schneiderman issued a subpoena Wednesday evening to Exxon Mobil, demanding<br />

extensive financial records, emails and other documents.<br />

The investigation focuses on whether statements the company made to investors<br />

about climate risks as recently as this year were consistent with the company's own<br />

long-running scientific research.<br />

The people said the inquiry would include a period of at least a decade during<br />

which Exxon Mobil funded outside groups that sought to undermine climate science,<br />

even as its in-house scientists were outlining the potential consequences — and<br />

uncertainties — to company executives.<br />
